Redding T-7 Press ?

[hornet112]

Anybody out there using an auto primer feeding system on there Redding T-7? I just purchased a Redding and was considering an auto primer feed system for it . Would like to here some pros & cons before I buy it.
Thanks, Dan

I could never get mine to function 100%. Tried remachining and shims, no luck & removed it.

I have one and personally I like to prime separate, using a BAld Eagle mounted on the bench. The primer system is an option, but I personally am not a big fan, and I really like Redding.

I tried. Use a hand held 21st Century for priming. The T7 is one of my best buys now. Three heads for different calibers. Simple change out (watch out for the flying ball though).

I have three T-7s and like them very much. I like to do the priming separate so I am not answering your question, I know, but you will like the press.

I've used Redding's auto primer feeding system on my T-7 for about three years and it's worked perfectly from day one. Set up took about five minutes and if you adjust it per the instructions I don’t see how it wouldn’t work as designed since it’s a pretty simple system. Much much better than the Auto Prime on my old Lee Press.

I have the auto primer feeding system on mine, and it has always worked perfectly; as tcoz says, it is a very simple system.

I don't actually use mine now (I use a 21st Century instead), as I saw the aftermath of a primer tube chain detonation on a Dillon, and that made me look at alternatives.

Thanks for all the replies I think I'll give one a try. I just want to load a few different pistol loads and some hunting loads.
